call them in Anne RIGA, for the manufacturing in

At last We got tariff which assured Russians that
they would not lose their money their labor if
they embarked both in mines in shipyards or in
vineyards OF in factories From that moment high
chimneys began to rise in ever city and town.
Moujiks became artisans. Cities IKE Woronetz
and Rostoh and Kursk and Kharkof and n dozen
more arose where nothing but forts or villages oil
monasteres had been before. Still the system was
incomplete. Vast landed possessions were held by
atens-chiehy Prussian subiects-who lived IN
Berlin or Breslau luxlriously rentals wrung by
Jewish agents or estate farmers from Russian
tenantry. This we sought to remedy by requiring
landholders to be Russian subjects.
"Whcn this was done the whole Prussan press
burst forth in outcry against what they were
pleased to term tho reactionary policy OF Russia.
Among other things they accused Inc of combating
the system Of public instruction in Russia. Well,
did writo articles pointing ont I'll at the pre-
valling system of public instruction tended to
breed generation Of assassus. When one of them
detected and punished the press of Western
Europe said patrYt was being prosecuted for his
political opinions But these Nhli,ts are battered
by being termed political offenders. They are
nothing Int assassns. Your Guiteau was
fair type of them. But we won't go into that sub
ject Tho story would be too long. People who
read only the journals of Western Europa will
never know tho truth about Russia will never
sympathize with tho aspirations which gave rise
to the doctrines of Real Russianism will never
appreciate the motives of Katkon and his MoscoW

"Will you explain from your point of view, M
Katkof." asked. why exists the entente cordid'e
between the Russians and Americans, when their
institutions are so exactly antipodalf"

nations who have plenty at home and do not have
TO rob others for a livelihood; they the only
people who have plenty of room. All the other
civilized poop les are coo3ed up in small territories
where the problem of existence becomes necessarily
desperate. In capable of expanding by absorption,
they seek outlets by conquest and annexation for
